Mark your calendars for this year’s employee picnic on Tuesday, July 23, from 11:30 a.m.–1 p.m. at Hubbell Dining. The lunch is free, and it is a great chance to socialize with coworkers from across campus. You may also wear jeans or shorts (work appropriate) with your manager’s approval.

Faculty and staff can enjoy a state fair-themed menu. Then, after lunch, head outdoors and try your hand at the ring toss, bags, or rubber chicken toss in our mini-midway.

New this year: we are holding a judged pie contest. To enter the contest and receive further instructions, please send an email to linda.feiden@drake.edu.

And don’t forget to bring at least one non-perishable item for the Drake Little Food Pantries on campus to be eligible for a prize drawing, held at the conclusion of the picnic. We look forward to seeing you there!
